If your business decides to shift to solar power, you’ll soon find yourself involved in three different yet important business partnerships. The first will be with the solar solutions company that does solar design for you, second will be the company that installs the photovoltaic (PV) solar system. And the third partnership will be with the local utility. Once your solar panels are effectively connected to the grid, you’ll find a much more healthy and profitable relationship with the local utility company than you ever would have imagined.
Project Management
Your solar solutions company knows all the ins and outs of solar system and they’ll know exactly what the utilities are looking for during the process of installation. Once the contract is made, most of the regular contact with the utility will be mediated by two people. The first will be the project manager, who will be managing the construction process of the solar project from start to finish. This project manager will work closely in relation with the interconnection coordinator, who will manage and handle the technical end of matching the solar system with the utility’s gear.
The Process
Utilities change from place to place. All of the regions have different rules about connecting the solar system to the grid. It’s the job of the project manager as well as the interconnection coordinator to understand what those rules are and to make sure the project abides them.
The process will involve five major steps before the solar system is up and running:
Site Survey
The Project will start with a progression of surveys that review everything from the solar system design ideation, utility’s underground links to your own change gear (e.g., the breakers and circuits that secure and segregate your hardware). The geology of the space and whatever else that may influence the solar production will likewise be considered under Heaven’s Drone Survey program. This will help answer inquiries concerning where the solar system ought to be sited.
Design
All this information from the solar site survey will be used to carry on the solar pv design process. This process will consist mainly of two drawings—one is a single line drawing that shows the electrical diagram of the solar system design, and the other is a site plan which will be indicating where the solar array(s) will be effectively placed. These will be further submitted (as an “Interconnection Application”) to the utility with a detailed request for permission to proceed with execution process.
Permits
While looking out for approval from the utility, the project manager will be involved at finishing the solar design and getting some other required licenses. There can be building grants, city licenses, state grants and that’s only the tip of the iceberg. This can be a tedious cycle depending upon area and how muddled the solar system design is. Heaven Designs can helps by provide all the tender liasoning documents at one place like- shadow analysis report, solar structure design certificate, self-certificate, DCR certificate, PPA agreement and cover letter. This will help in swift liasoning procedure and approval from the utility.
Construction
Once the utility gives its approval and the construction of the solar system starts, the project manager takes the lead on almost everything. The project manager needs to incorporate with the solar design as well as with the engineering designs and should be in perpetual touch with the solar engineering consultants. Once that’s done, the authority government inspectors (typically from the city or state) will check over everything to make sure all of the requirements are perfectly met.
Operation
After the final sign-off from the utility, you’ll be now ready to start producing solar power. But that’s not the end of things, you have to make sure that the solar system is functioning properly and producing the expected energy. Heaven Designs solar engineering consultants can help you in examining it with our Drone Survey programme that helps in detecting the fault efficiently in comparison to traditional surveys.
The normal solar installation measure requires time duration around 10 months to a year. A more confounded one can take longer. When the undertaking is finished, your relationship with the solar organization will probably proceed all through the life expectancy of your solar system. In the meantime, your new relationship with the utility will be as an individual generator of power. Much of the time, you’ll utilize net metering to help counterbalance your energy costs. In any case, your energy bills will be going down—and you’ll help the planet.
